yourbanker 8 Posted February 18, 2013 JayneD - that's great! Do you remember if he placed a drain in? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JayneD 31 Posted February 18, 2013 Yes I had one drain which was removed the morning of discharge. It was a bit uncomfortable while it was in. When it was pulled out it did not hurt it just felt weird. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anewmeahead 10 Posted February 20, 2013 Hi anewmeahead I am getting sleeved by Dr gellman he works with dr gadaletta on Feb 20. How are you feeling Hi - Good Luck tomorrow! I'm sure you will do GREAT! I have nothing but positive things to say about Dr. Gadaletta and the practice so I'm sure Dr. Gellman is great as well. I"m about 3 weeks out and doing pretty good. I've lost almost 30 pounds and really have had no other complications (except gas pain the beginning.) I am getting sick of just liquids - but it is all part of process. Let me know how everything goes! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let me know how everything goes! Hi I'm five days post op and feeling great last night I slept without pain meds aside from the discomfort of incision and drain I am doing GREAT! Dr. Gellman is awesome took 2 hours for my surgery the worst thing for me was the gas pain in the left shoulder OmG that was killer but to be honest only lasted a few minutes nurses came in and medicated me then I started walking and it dissapeared. I love Charmaine and the nutrionist did you meet with them before leaving the hospital? They gave me this neat pillow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
